Okay so with this I was thinking of doing something different that might be better. Instead of just voting for one anime for each category, you will be voting for your top 3 for each category.We will be using a point system where your 1st place vote gets 5 points, 2nd place vote gets 3 points and your 3rd place vote gets 1 point. I feel that it might help prevent the votes from being scattered and will make the voting more close and exciting. Also the voting deadline for the Annual 2013 Anime Awards will be moved back to February 13th! So take your time and think about your votes :)

**Note: there will be anime that are not listed (mainly the anime that aired in Fall 2012 and continued into early 2013) but are still eligible for voting. Any anime that aired in 2013 will be eligible for voting even if half of the series aired in either 2012 or if it continues on to 2014. Anime movies are also eligible for voting.
So now for the categories:

Best Story
Best Animation
Best Character Design
Best OP
Best ED
Best OST
Best Action
Best Adventure
Best Comedy
Best Drama
Best Ecchi Series
Best Fantasy
Best Harem
Best Mystery
Best Romance
Best Science Fiction
Best Slice of Life
Best Sports
Best Short Series (3-10 minutes)
Best Male Character
Best Female Character
Must Watch of 2013 (think of it like if there was 1 anime you had to watch from 2013 it would be...)
Best of 2013!

Other categories I wanted to add were Best Mecha, Best Horror and Best Reverse Harem. Those 3 categories only had 3-5 anime that aired this year so I didn't know if you guys wanted to include them or not. Also feel free to suggest any other categories that you might have

1. Mikoto Misaka - A certain Scientific Railgun
2. Hajime Ichinose - Gatchaman Crowds
3. Komari Koshigaya Non Non BiyoriMust Watch of 2013
1. The Devil is a part-timer, It's one of funniest anime I'ver ever seen
2. Non Non Biyori - Anyone who has any interest in slice of life/comedy should watch this show immediately.
3. Kyousougiga - Kind of hard for me to desribe why this show is so good, but it is one of my favorites of the year.
Notes: There are shows like Kill La Kill/beyond the boundary or various sequals I found to great maybe even better than the ones i put, but ultimately I didn't feel like everyone needs to watch, or that they were the best of their genre. So I picked them based on if I felt any anime fan or fan of the genre they were in would need to watch it.

Best of 2013!
1. The World God Only Knows: Goddess Arc - As much as I enjoyed the first two seasons, I believe this is by far and away the best season of the show, they mostly took the best girls from the arcs and fleshed them out, instead of moving from girl to girl. All in all the goddess arc is pretty much everything I wanted it to be.
2. The Devil is a Part Timer - I knew I liked this show when I watched it originally, that was before I started giving this thing a bunch of my picks, I realized in hindsight that I really liked this show. All I had to do is watch a few clips on youtube and it instantly went on my best of.
3. To Aru Kagaku no Railgun S - The only thing I didn't like about this show was the general lack of kuroko/saten/uiharu in the sister's arc of the show. This would be a big deal if Misaka wasn't such a great character, but she is so it's only a minor complaint.
Honorable Mention- Non Non Biyori

Quick question some series that started in fall 2012, but ended in Winter 2013 are eligible for vote correct? Just making sure, since some of them are not showing up on the anime-planet link for example Pet Girl of Sakurasou. Also i like best ecchi series vote, so I know what i missed out on

Yes that series is eligible since the series finished airing in March 2013. Any anime that aired in 2013 will be eligible for voting
